Excel Magic Trick # 256: 162 Excel Keyboard Shortcuts

Good morning,

trying to find out what to do with my spreadsheet and the formulas in it.

If you look into the file 369. I can get to the stage where it outlines the mismatch figure. In the example it is 6 Mismatches.

But I cannot seem to get the table belwo right. Everytime I try and copy past the formula, the first set of data is the one from the first line and then I get a #NUM error, due to the fact that there seems to be a number reoccurence somewhere.

I took the youtube tutorial, but even copying that formula did not work.

My table consist of 2 sets of 600 values each.

Can someone tell me why I am getting this error and help me resolve the issue that the result is an existing set of data?

THANK YOU

I am following this tutorial from youtube. It is a search function to search for a specefic word in an entire row. Here is the first part of the code:

Code:

=SEARCH(C$3,Table2[[#This Row],[DESCRIPTION]])

except i only get a value in the cell that i typed this in, instead of it searching the rest of the row like in the tutorial. i can't figure out how to fix this. anyone know what im doing wrong?

Hello there.
First, and before all, I must admit that I am a kind a "dumb" for Excel, because I always were using it, only for better look's of simple tables, schedule's and similar. Although, I was all the time aware of great power's of this program, but newer tested it.
So, finally after few years of tempting, I decided to make a proper "order-list" for the shop in which I work. What I needed is to ,based on products and their prices, make a drop-down box, with list of the products, and after choosing one , proper price will be shown in next column. I find out how to do it with "Excel magic trick #5" on Youtube.
This is what i achieved:

However,
You see that in row 16, or line 2 in the order box ,we have #N/A below Cena (Price), Iznos PDV (amount of VAT), Cena sa PDV (Amount with VAT), and Iznos (Total amount). If we choose one of the product from drop-down box (now, as You can see none is chosen) and type number in Kolicina(Quantity) column, all this would be automatically changed into proper value.
But what if we have only one thing in order box, instead of 2 or all of 10 ? How to avoid those #N/A, and make instead to be blank cell, which is to be counted as 0, because of final calculation?

In this order-form we have only line 1 and 2 programed to have drop-down box in line Naziv robe (Name of the product). If I putted same drop-down boxes in rest 8 columns, #N/A would be shown in all programed cells bellow, like in line 2...

Kind regards from Serbia

Hello,

I am constructing a make-shift database in excel but can't seem to find a way to get magic trick #213 to work.

What I am trying to do is create a dynamic filter via 16 criteria. I would like any results that match all criteria that I specify and then displays results in a separate table to the right.

Thank you so much for your help - I would attach my spreadsheet to this message if I knew how.

BR,

Looking for a little help tweaking Excel Magic Trick 185. I've reached what is probably just a mental block.

I'm trying to adjust a spreadsheet for work using the processes described in Excel MagicTrick 185. (Great series, by the way...) The catch is that the source data table can not be modified under any circumstances (we've already asked).

The problem is different than EMT_185 in that there are 9 columns that can potentially define a match as opposed to just the one shown in EMT_185. There are two user options ('I-III' and 'A-C') which in combination establish the headings for the 9 possible conditions (I-A, II-A, III-A ...) .

(See the linked spreadsheet) I've been able to:
determine if a row in the source matches user provided conditions (col Y),
get the count of matched source rows (row 26),
determine the match instance (col AA), and
place the source data in the output table (col AC)

What I can't quite get my mind around is suppressing the blanks in the output (i.e.:getting match 1 on row 1, match 2 on row 2, etc.)

What am I missing? Please help. A spreadsheet showing what I have so far is located on google docs. Perhaps you could make a new EMT out of it!

BTW.. this used to be done via vba, however that is no longer an option (don't ask... It just isn't, and it's not a topic that is open to discussion -- we tried).

I am trying to duplicate the concept on my spreadsheet. It is conceptually the same, the formula is slightly different.

Mine is as follows:
{=IF(ROWS(A$5:A5)>$B$2,"",
INDEX(US!A$5:A$72,
SMALL(IF(US!$AU$5:$AU$72=Sheet1!$A$2,ROW(US!$AU$5:$AU$72)-ROW(US!$AU$5)+1),ROWS(A$5:A5))))}

Resulting in a #VALUE! error. Can anybody advise me what should the formula me?

Thank a million!

So I used Excel Magic Trick 185 to dynamically pull content from a spreadsheet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bGKhbUYOas

However,
It is only working for a few of my columns though and I am getting reference errors, http://www.mediafire.com/?gje8srbp8x2j48w

Can anyone check into my spreadsheet and help me understand why I get these ref errors? Is it because I have spaces in the column names or within the cells? I know a macro is probably a better way to do this, or an auto-filter, but I need it to dynamically update. Any ideas on how to fix this problem or a better way to solve it?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have been searching for Keyboard Shortcuts in Spanish for Excel, specifically the insertion of the date.

Can anyone help me on this?

In English version the shortcut for insertion of the current date is ... ctrl + ;
This does not work in the Spanish version.

If anyone knows, I would like to get a list of keyboard shortcuts for spanish version of Excel, please.

I know how to disable individual keyboard shortcuts, but I was wondering if there was a command that would disable and enable all shortcuts? It would certainly cut down on the code.

I have been taking advantage of the fact that the old ALT keyboard shortcuts from Excel '03 also work in '07, but have come across a very annoying problem: '07 requires a slight delay between pressing each key, while '03 allowed you to press them very fast.

Example: to paste values, you press ALT+E+S+V. In '03, I can press the entire key combination in well under a second. However, if I press that combination very quickly in '07, it pops up this little box that says:
Office 2003 access key: ALT, E,
Continue typing the Office 2003 menu
key sequence, or press Escape to cancel.

However, if I press ALT+E+S+V with a half second delay between each key stroke, it works fine. Strangely, if you use a command with fewer keystrokes (for instance, inserting a cell/row/column, which is ALT+I+E) it works just fine at any speed.

So, my question is how do I get '07 to allow me to do the more full commands like ALT+E+S+V at full speed?
